    EBS HD350/TD650

    in Amps and Cabs

    Posted

    I've been using a HD350 head for a number of years now and have been really pleased with it. They are well made and deliver the clean glassy sound my ears like. I use mine in a function band setting so covering various genres which it handles well.  I also like the simplicity of using it with a straight forward EQ section that doesn't require much faffing about with. 

    I've used an assortment of other heads in the past including Ashdown, but found myself changing them after several months. At the end of the day sound is all subjective, trying out different one's (if you can) is probably the best way forward in finding a sound you're happy with. Good luck in your search.

    In your 212 travels did you ever try out a Berg CN212? General impression is that it's an outstanding piece of kit and, for me, edged it over my VK210 LNT. 

    No Al I haven't. The problem is you can't always get to play through the various makes that are out there making it a bit 'hit and miss', unless you catch a band with someone using one to give you an idea....

    Hi there Peeps,

    Does anybody have any experience of using these BF cabs?

    I currently use a Vk 4X10 and I'm really happy with the sound and build quality of it, but I like the idea of a one lightweight cab solution and being able to wheel it around, as I'm forever taking the skin off my knuckles negotiating corners or tight spaces at gigs etc, which is the downside of using 4x10 cabs.  I've tried BF 2x12 cabs in the past which were great from a mobility perspective, but I found I just couldn't bond with them sound wise.

    BF say these 610's are 'old school' sounding but I'm not really sure what that means. I play in a function band so need the ability of a cab to be capable of delivering slap, soul, pop, funk, rock, etc, which the Vk does quite nicely. 

    Any impartial, unbiased, real world user opinions would be most appreciated, cheers.

    Maybe because he was investigated by the FBI for 10 years and there was never any evidence of sexual assault?

    Then why would such an intelligent, shrewd and savvy man as he undoubtably was, spend his down time integrating himself and sleep with children, let alone paying off millions of dollars to the families of other kids, 'to settle out of court'.  If a bloke down the road was displaying this kind of behaviour the local community would be out to lynch him pronto. Unless of course you believe all the witnesses of his crimes were lying for their own means and that he simply loved children? As for the evidence, well the same argument could be said of Hitler, as there's no direct evidence to link him to the death camps, do you believe he wasn't responsible for them?

    Any Love for D'addario Bass Strings?

    I have to admit my experience of the NYXL range wasn't entirely positive. I really wanted to like these strings. The marketing shizz, reviews, and packaging really drew me in so I thought I'd give them a whirl. I usually use D'Addario XL Nickels on my Stingray. The NYXL's felt quite good to begin with like all new strings do, but to my ears while they had the low punch they lacked the usual zing I get from the Nickels. I persevered with them using them at several gigs and rehearsals, but found they just didn't do it for me sound or feel wise, so eventually reverted back to my usual Nickels. Different strokes I guess...
